    Big 12 Picks: Proving BYU Will Win, Utah Will Lose, Colorado, Kansas Preview, UCF Fires Neal Brown
    Nov 22 2024
    Big 12 football is a chaotic thrill ride, unmatched in its unpredictability and excitement. Unlike conferences with clear hierarchies, the Big 12 thrives on parity, where any team can rise or fall in a single weekend. The league’s depth ensures no matchup is safe, and even the most dominant teams are never far from an upset.The chaos begins with the league's offensive identity. For years, the Big 12 has been the epicenter of high-powered, innovative offenses, featuring Air Raid schemes, dual-threat quarterbacks, and explosive scoring. Teams trade touchdowns at dizzying speeds, and no lead feels secure. Games frequently descend into dramatic shootouts, with final scores resembling basketball games more than football.Defensively, the conference has also evolved, with teams like Baylor, Kansas State, and Iowa State introducing physical, disruptive defenses that challenge the offensive narrative. This balance between explosive offenses and rising defensive prowess creates games filled with dramatic swings, heart-pounding finishes, and constant surprises.Adding to the chaos is the depth of competition. Traditional powerhouses like Oklahoma and Texas, even before their departure, have faced stiff challenges from programs like Oklahoma State, TCU, Baylor, and Kansas State. Unexpected contenders routinely emerge, and the race for the Big 12 title often comes down to the final weeks of the season.Rivalries and emotional stakes only amplify the madness. Matchups like Bedlam (Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State) or the Sunflower Showdown (Kansas vs. Kansas State) bring raw intensity, while new rivalries, such as BYU-UCF, promise to add fresh drama.Ultimately, the Big 12 is college football's wild card. It’s a league where chaos reigns, unpredictability is the norm, and every Saturday delivers unforgettable moments. For fans craving edge-of-their-seat action, there’s no better show than Big 12 football.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

    BEST BETS: BYU Wins at Arizona State, West Virginia Loses, Colorado, Deion Sanders, Iowa State Dubs
    Nov 21 2024
    Big 12 football is synonymous with chaos, making it one of the most unpredictable and thrilling conferences in college football. Every weekend in the Big 12 feels like a rollercoaster ride, with upsets, high-stakes battles, and a relentless competitiveness that leaves fans on the edge of their seats. Unlike conferences dominated by a few powerhouses, the Big 12 thrives on parity, where any team can beat another on any given Saturday.One hallmark of Big 12 football is the offensive explosiveness. The conference has long been known for producing high-scoring games and prolific offenses. Air Raid systems, spread offenses, and dual-threat quarterbacks have defined the league, resulting in shootouts that are as chaotic as they are entertaining. Games that seem decided by halftime can flip entirely in the second half, with teams trading touchdowns in rapid succession.What makes the Big 12 even more unpredictable is its depth. With no clear-cut dominant program year after year, the conference title race often goes down to the wire. Teams like Kansas State, Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State have all had seasons where they’ve toppled traditional powers, adding to the drama. Even newcomers like BYU, UCF, and Cincinnati are expected to bring their own wild flavor to the mix.The rivalries within the Big 12 also fuel its chaos. Matchups like the Sunflower Showdown (Kansas vs. Kansas State) or Bedlam (Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State) come with emotional stakes that amplify the intensity and unpredictability.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

  • BYU Falls to Arizona State? Colorado Stunned by Kansas? Neal Brown Gone? Chaos is Ahead.

    BYU Falls to Arizona State? Colorado Stunned by Kansas? Neal Brown Gone? Chaos is Ahead.
    Nov 20 2024
    Colorado and Kansas football programs have distinct identities rooted in tradition, resilience, and moments of prominence, despite periods of struggle. Both programs bring unique strengths to the college football landscape and remain capable of reshaping their narratives.Colorado BuffaloesColorado has a storied history, highlighted by a national championship in 1990 under legendary coach Bill McCartney. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Buffaloes were a dominant force, boasting stars like Rashaan Salaam, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1994. Competing initially in the Big Eight and later the Big 12, Colorado earned a reputation as a gritty, competitive program before moving to the Pac-12 in 2011. The program's home at Folsom Field, nestled in the stunning Rocky Mountains, offers one of the most iconic atmospheres in college football.The arrival of Deion Sanders as head coach in 2023 has revitalized the program. Sanders has brought new energy, top-tier recruits, and national media attention, aiming to return Colorado to its glory days. With his charismatic leadership and ability to attract elite talent, the Buffaloes are poised to make a significant impact, especially as they rejoin the Big 12. While Colorado has experienced inconsistency over the past two decades, the foundation being built under Sanders could reignite the program’s legacy.Kansas JayhawksKansas football is primarily known for its basketball success, but the Jayhawks have experienced notable moments on the gridiron. Their peak came under Mark Mangino in 2007 when they finished 12-1, winning the Orange Bowl and achieving a top-10 national ranking. Despite years of struggles and rebuilding, Kansas has shown signs of a resurgence under head coach Lance Leipold. His leadership has reinvigorated the program, emphasizing development and discipline.Both programs carry passionate fan bases and untapped potential, making them intriguing storylines in modern college football.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

  • STUNNED: Arizona State WILL BEAT BYU as Big 12's Nightmare College Football Playoff Scenario Arrives

    STUNNED: Arizona State WILL BEAT BYU as Big 12's Nightmare College Football Playoff Scenario Arrives
    Nov 19 2024
    Arizona State football has historically enjoyed periods of competitive success that have given it an edge over BYU at times. The Sun Devils, hailing from the Pac-12 conference, have leveraged their recruiting advantages, geographic location, and program prestige to assemble strong teams that have outpaced BYU, particularly when looking at certain high-profile seasons.One of Arizona State's biggest advantages lies in its location in Tempe, Arizona, a prime recruiting hotbed with proximity to California and other talent-rich states. This location allows ASU to attract top-tier athletes who bring speed, skill, and size—attributes that can give the Sun Devils an edge in head-to-head matchups and season-long performance. The program's affiliation with the Pac-12 also plays a role, as it provides greater exposure and the ability to schedule games against highly ranked opponents, which helps ASU’s recruiting pitch and national profile.In some seasons, Arizona State's ability to compete with and even defeat powerhouse programs within the Pac-12 has underscored its potential and demonstrated that the Sun Devils can play at a high level. Notable coaches throughout the years, such as Frank Kush, who led ASU during its rise to prominence, and more recently figures like Herm Edwards, have at times brought national attention and solidified the Sun Devils' position as a formidable program.While BYU has a strong football tradition, characterized by its national championship in 1984 and consistent bowl appearances, Arizona State’s conference affiliation, recruiting advantages, and historic successes in major bowl games have, in some years, given the Sun Devils an upper hand. This competitive edge has occasionally positioned ASU as a stronger contender in certain seasons, especially when their program is firing on all cylinders.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

  • Big 12 Power Rankings: BYU Crashes, Utah is Dead, Colorado Rises, Kansas State Done, Baylor WAY Up

    Big 12 Power Rankings: BYU Crashes, Utah is Dead, Colorado Rises, Kansas State Done, Baylor WAY Up
    Nov 18 2024
    The Big 12 is known for being one of the most competitive and unpredictable conferences in college football. Unlike some conferences where a few dominant teams overshadow the rest, the Big 12 boasts a level of parity that makes every week an intriguing battle. This depth of competition ensures that any team, regardless of preseason rankings or past performance, has the potential to win on any given Saturday.One of the standout features of the Big 12 is that there are rarely any "gimme" games. Whether it’s a traditional powerhouse like Oklahoma or Texas, or a dark horse team like Kansas State, Baylor, or Iowa State, the competition is fierce. Each season, multiple teams emerge as legitimate threats to compete for the conference title, making the race to the championship game an open and hotly contested affair. Even teams that might be seen as underdogs can pull off shocking upsets, adding to the unpredictable nature of the conference.The Big 12’s style of play contributes to this competitiveness. Known for its fast-paced, high-scoring offenses and innovative play-calling, games can turn into shootouts where no lead is safe. Teams often rely on dynamic quarterbacks and prolific receiving corps to put points on the board, resulting in games that are not only exciting but can swing dramatically in a short amount of time. This offensive prowess means that even lower-ranked teams have the firepower to challenge the top contenders, leading to a season where standings fluctuate week by week.Defensively, many Big 12 teams have improved in recent years, adding a layer of complexity to what was once perceived as an offense-only league. Teams like Oklahoma State, TCU, and Iowa State have emphasized strong defensive play, leading to more balanced, strategic games that require teams to be well-rounded to succeed.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

  • DISASTER: BYU Upset by Kansas, Arizona State Shocks Kansas State, Colorado is Big 12's Only Hope?

    DISASTER: BYU Upset by Kansas, Arizona State Shocks Kansas State, Colorado is Big 12's Only Hope?
    Nov 17 2024

    Big 12 football is synonymous with chaos and unpredictability, making it one of the most captivating and exhilarating conferences in college football. Known for its high-octane offenses, intense rivalries, and nail-biting finishes, the Big 12 offers a weekly dose of excitement that leaves fans eagerly anticipating each game. The conference’s blend of storied programs, fierce competition, and parity creates an environment where upsets are not just possible but expected. One of the defining features of the Big 12 is the offensive firepower showcased by its teams. With programs historically leaning into spread offenses and fast-paced schemes, games are often shootouts where scoring 40 or 50 points is not enough to guarantee victory. Quarterbacks and receivers frequently produce highlight-reel plays that ignite stadiums and captivate audiences, with legends like Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, and Bryce Petty having thrived in this environment. The defensive battles, when they come, are equally electrifying because of their rarity and significance. What sets the Big 12 apart is its depth. Unlike conferences where a few teams dominate, the Big 12 is known for its parity. Every team, from traditional powerhouses like Oklahoma and Texas to upset-minded programs like Kansas State, Baylor, and Iowa State, has the potential to beat any opponent on any given day. This balance means that even highly ranked teams must navigate a gauntlet of formidable competition to reach the conference title game. The unpredictability extends beyond the scores and standings. Iconic upsets, last-minute field goals, and overtime thrillers have become hallmarks of Big 12 Saturdays. Whether it’s a high-stakes rivalry like the Red River Showdown or a clash with playoff implications, Big 12 games are rarely straightforward. The atmosphere in these matchups is electric, filled with passionate fans, school traditions, and the ever-present sense that something extraordinary is just a play away. n For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

This influx of talent has reshaped the roster and elevated the team’s potential, signaling a new era for the Buffaloes.Beyond recruitment, Sanders’ coaching philosophy emphasizes discipline, hard work, and a winning mindset. He has instilled a culture of accountability and confidence, traits that have already begun to change the team’s performance and attitude. His approach to leadership is both demanding and supportive, ensuring that players develop not only as athletes but as individuals. This holistic focus builds resilience and character, creating a foundation for sustained success.Off the field, Sanders has brought unprecedented attention and media coverage to Colorado. His presence alone has captured national interest, translating into increased ticket sales, merchandise revenue, and overall excitement around the program. This surge in visibility benefits the university as a whole, promoting school spirit and drawing in alumni and new fans alike.Deion’s commitment to building a strong and positive team culture resonates with players and fans, and his infectious energy has reshaped expectations for the program.
